Pocket translators - Cunard thread

Recommended Posts

A little while ago I found a posting on the Cunard Line thread about a website with printable one sheet translation for many languages. I can't find the post anywhere now I need it!

 

I printed the Polish sheet off for my daughter in December, and it was very useful for her.

 

I know it was on the Cunard thread because I haven't looked at any other (other than the Europe one which I have only recently started to use), and have tried putting a search on, but to no avail.

 

Has anyone bookmarked the site and can let me have the address?

 

Many thanks

 

Susan

There is an American - British sheet.

 

Here are some extracts (offered with love, a wink, and the certainty that an equivalent Briitish - American sheet exists somewhere....).

 

 

Bacon = 100% pure carbon

Carbon = someone else's problem

Fine dining = Supersized Big Mac with slice of processed cheese

International diplomacy = a B52

England = The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Cute = The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Conveniently placed runway for B52's = see above.

Football = fat blokes running into each other

Yoorup = any bit of the world where white foreigners live

Ancient history = the day before yesterday

Evolution = a bizarre theory at odds with the words of Jay-zus

Islam = a bizarre theory at odds with the words of Jay-zus

Ronald Reagan = Jay-zus

Affordable health care for the poor and needy = communism

Fascism = liberal

Mexico = part of Texas

Canada = big boring bit on the way to Alaska

Alaska = only good thing that ever came out of Russia

Russia = where the B52's go to unload

Cunard = opportunity to wear fancy dress and meet typical Bridish people

G20 = expression of disappointment at dress size

G8 = expression of disappointment at dress size (California version)

Broiled = grilled

Grilled = tortured

Fried = isn't everything?

World peace = see under B52

Plaid = I've honestly no idea

Cut-offs = dress uniform

Fags = don't inhale for God's sake

Fanny-pack = not remotely what you think it is
